Sheila, Many New York State Averys may be located in one of the two Groton Avery books published around the turn of this century. These resources contain thousands of names and are worth checking. I appreciate the frustrations of finding the "missing link", but succeeded, in part, by consulting these books. Good luck with your research. Sincerely, Thomas A.
